funny.....the inlaw's comment...but
you were eluding to....IF George can beat Rustam......then he may have a chance with you.
In this free world you speak of.....I don't buy it.
understand?

AS Cobra rhodes pointed out publically George 's armwrestling style is not at all atractive..his wins with 120 dgree angling of elbow and falling back below the table will not make the game pleasant to watch Maybe we should have a class for " attractive" armwrestlers then?!?!?!?!? Who gives a f**k what it looks like if it's within the rules? Thats funny ;D I speculate more people watch George's matches at a tournament than anyone else. Not attractive to watch? You have competitors at other tables asking the ref's if they can delay their start to watch George. How does that strike you for not attractive to watch???

if he can beat RUSTUM ..i will think about meeting him on table.. are you ATTEMPTING to act as if you are a better puller than Rustam? You say this like, if he can't beat Rustam...... then theres no way he can touch you. Get real man, Rustam and George would be your 2 worst nightmares on the table. Rustam would just humiliate you with his power and George would just soak away your pride while you continue to FAIL at pinning him. you would walk away from the table a broken man, if this is how you think. Not to start a lynch mob but I interpreted it as you saying if he could beat Rustam maybe you would consider pulling him. If that's what you're implying I think you are embracing flawed philosophy. Styles make matches and, how puller A and puller B match up have nothing to do with puller C,D, or E. Quite frankly Rustam vs George isn't germain to the situation because it would have no bearing on a match with you vs either of them. If you are interested I have a small list of guys you can prove yourself against though.

I like watching Crazy George pull. Can anyone explain to me what he's doing that makes it difficult to pin him, I mean in technical terms? Also, do you think it would work on much bigger guys or would he be in danger of hurting himself?

Also, do you think it would work on much bigger guys or would he be in danger of hurting himself? There's been a lot of discussion about it. The man is just very strong. Roman, Klemba, Cobra, Simon, and many others could not pin him. There are a couple of Canadians that have his number, but never at the Arnold's.

nobody has his number in Canada, one or two guys got a win on him but that doesn't mean they got his number because is not often you'll see him lose 2 times to the same guy. To me he is incredible exciting to watch and he is the nicest guy to talk to, and yes!!! he is very very strong, not only outside as he always stop people but also inside, I've seen him practice in the hook position with much bigger guys and dominate, so yeah... to say that I'm a huge fan of CRAZY GEORGE is an understatement

He is a beast... to say he is the best P4P armwrestler in the world is a bit of a stretch though, he has lost before @176. How do you beat George? The best way would be to flash him wouldn't it? Rustam is FAST. But f*ck all the Crazy George haters because he is doing everything within the rules and trains hard to be the best (in N.A.)... and he is 59 years old...

When Cobra hit George at the arnolds Georges arm barley moved. The hit was mostly side pressure you cant tell me it has anything to do with an arm not straightening which is foolish in the 1st place. All you have to do is hook up with George and feel his back presure and experience his power. For the past 10 years he has taken on all competitors and successfully gotten the job done, theres not much argument. He is by far the best 176er we have seen. And Bob i will just say he has beaten all the heavy wts in Canada at one point and hasnt hurt himself. Normally in Canada George pulls the 198s unless its a big event and as well in that class has defeated all competitors. Congrats George you are the Best.

It has worked on bigger guys...might be on youtube....George and Travis...George stops him it was right after Travis had a supermatch with Larratt after Arsen beat Travis i gripped up with Arsen and he couldnt do much but does it mean that i can even slow him down? of course not i flashed Travis in an overall event,and it was lefty..could i even slow him down in a fresh match? of course not even though i also was some tired from pulling my class in a class with Tullier,RJ,Soliwada,Mike O'Hara,Bill Ballinger,Tamaev Totraz and others. and the final thing is that i saw with my own eyes that Travis pinned him. stating the facts is a normal thing,so everyone can f.ck themselves or can try to say or do what they say when they have chance to see who they point. and people who offer their asses to be kissed need to be careful because it is against my belief but some other people may like anal sex when they see naked asses.

best 176 ever,someone that has never won single World title (took only 3. and 4.)and got flashed by 2 Turkish guys (one of them took 3. at 154s at Turkish nationals 5 months before he flashed George and the other one took 10. at the Europeans 6 months after he flashed George) in 2002 and 2003,and he did not even show up at A World Championships that was in his country even though he was qualified while people traveled from other side of the World.ok he beat Simon who just lost to Andy Barker 6-0 and Barker took 7. place at 2009 Zloty in 86kg class that was dominated by Rustam.ok he beat Roman after the event,but just ask Roman to pull Rustam i have old armbender magazines that Cobra takes first place in multiple classes while George only pulls master classes,since then George must have gotten stronger and stronger because his testosteron level increased,his HGH level increased,his passion grew because of all these.he is more succesful now then how he was 20 years ago because 55-60 is the best & strongest time in our sport! anyone who thinks that George is the best 176 ever,i respect your opinion even though it does not make sense to me.

It is unfortunate for us armwrestling fans that we don’t often get to see George pull the top Europeans. George hasn’t pulled in a Worlds since 2003, where he did get flashed by a Turkish puller and then later lost to Pascal Girard who pushed George’s elbow off the pad (back when this was not considered a foul). Although he may not have competed outside of North America (at least not in recent years), he has beaten everyone there is to beat on this continent, as well as the few international pullers who have come over (e.g. Vepkhia, Andreas). He has winning records over all 176 pound pullers in North American over the past 10 years. Very few pullers have managed wins over him, and he competes in several events per year. Far fewer have been able to pin him. In the 2004 Harley Pull overall, he beat everyone with the exception of Marcio Barboza, and he weighed only 171 lbs.
Granted, George has pulled very few of the top 10 pullers in the world rankings. If the reason he does not appear in the World rankings is because of a lack of international tournament competition, then that’s fine. But if it’s because it is believed he is not as good as the current top 10 pullers, then I disagree. Do I think he can beat Rustam? No, I do not, but I am very confident that he could beat many of the top 10 pullers. He won the Arnolds a few years ago when Pascal Girard was in the class, and Pascal is ranked 6th in the 86 kg class. Someone should try to set up a supermatch between George and a currently ranked puller. Perhaps then his abilities will be more widely recognized around the world.
In my opinion, George had a bad day at the 2003 Worlds, and this performance should not hold tremendous weight. It was seven years ago, and a couple of days prior to the open class event he won the master and grand master world titles, which I’m certain took a toll on his arm.

But if it’s because it is believed he is not as good as the current top 10 pullers, then I disagree. how will we know this? because he beat Denis Dubreuil,Simon,Anthony Dall'Antonia,retired Vephkia and Andreas..when did they get a WAF medal last time?10 years ago? and others? should i just guess it?Pascal is ranked currently ,i dont prepare the rankins according to the results from years ago,otherwise i would rank myself no 1 with right arm at 70kg.you are confident by your opinion and you may be right.the best of the World met at Vegas,at WAF ,at Zloty..where is he? maybe he should show up at where the World meets instead of using his incredible endurance! that comes from the 59 years of age,in a supermatch. In my opinion, George had a bad day at the 2003 Worlds, and this performance should not hold tremendous weight. It was seven years ago, and a couple of days prior to the open class event he won the master and grand master world titles, which I’m certain took a toll on his arm. yes it was 7 years ago and more George gets older stronger he becomes because this is the nature of the human beings.i dont think anyone forced him to compete masters but what you wrote must have been the reason of his participation to the masters class. i still think that 2008 WAF was another great opportunity for him to prove himself internationally.because it was in Canada and George was qualified by taking 2.place to Anthony Dall'Antonia who placed 9. at the WAF in 2008 Canada; Right Men's 80 1 UKR2206 RUSTAM BABAIEV 2 SUI3602 PASCAL GIRARD 3 RUS2814 ANDREY GRISHIN 4 RUS2813 TAYMURAZ TSAKHILOV 5 TUR5114 OZGUR KIZGIN 6 ITA4103 EMANUELE PAVANELLO 7 JPN1904 HIDEKI TAKAKI 8 ITA4102 NICOLA GAZZETTO 9 CAN1814 ANTHONY DALL ANTONIA10 KAZ2007 YEVGENIY GETALO 11 BUL1009 YULEV DIMITAR 12 BUL1002 STEFAN LENGAROV 13 CAN1815 GORD SQUIRE HAMILTON DE OLIVEIRA APARADO JUNIOR 14 BRA5308 15 JPN1913 TAKAYUKI KOSAI 16 USA3914 NOAH SANDERS 17 CZE1602 ROBIN SVACINA 18 USA3916 DAN WORLEY
